we have been using the Pixel system from EC for all our mods, up to 500 fpm , and up to 15 floors so far with no problems. they are insisting that there tape system will work, and that the magnatek dsd 412 can handle the job. they do have a tape system that has no contact with the actual tape, however, i still think 35 floors and that speed is going to lead to trouble somewhere down the road. the rails would have to be dead on the entire length, and the car could not sway to much or the reader would come away from the tape and cause a emergency stop . the pixel has been a terrific unit so far, as we have put in 25 or so with no problems. not sure what kind of position encoder motion uses on there IBOX, i was also told that smartrise has a encoder option for the position system that also worked well.
